Article II

TRANSFER OF SCHEME SHARES; DELIVERY OF EXCHANGE SHARES

Section 2.01 Transfer of Scheme Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Scheme Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Depositary Shares) shall be transferred from the Scheme Shareholders to Parent (or, at Parent’s election, (i) in respect of any or all of the Residual Shares, Parent and (ii) in respect of the Depositary Shares, the DR Nominee) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, and the Scheme Shareholders shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Scheme Shares, except their rights, in accordance with the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement, to receive, in exchange for each Scheme Share so transferred, the Share Deliverable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, although the holders of Company ADSs are not Scheme Shareholders by virtue of their holdings of Company ADSs, the Depositary Shares are Scheme Shares to be transferred pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement and accordingly, immediately following the Effective Time and as an indirect consequence of the Scheme of Arrangement, the holders of Company ADSs shall cease to have any rights with respect to Company ADSs except for the right to receive (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, in exchange for surrendering each Company ADS to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian)), an amount of Exchange Shares equal to the Share Deliverable (the “Per ADS Share Deliverable”) subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the Deposit Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to the stamping of any relevant instruments of transfer (to the extent required), the register of members of the Company will be updated in accordance with this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement to reflect the transfer of the Scheme Shares as contemplated hereby and thereby.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event no later than the Business Day following the Effective Time if the Company provides, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, evidence that the Effective Time has occurred, or if the Company provides such evidence after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, no later than the second Business Day after such delivery), Parent shall procure the deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the Scheme Shareholders, of certificates or, at Parent’s option, evidence of Exchange Shares in book-entry form representing the aggregate Share Deliverable. All shares deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence (together with any securities or cash payable in respect of or deriving from such shares under Section 2.01(d) or Section 2.07(b)) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Company Exchange Fund”. Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed additional cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions on the Exchange Shares to which relevant Scheme Shareholders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(d). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of Scheme Shareholders on the Share Deliverables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01(b), all obligations of Parent with respect to deliverables required to be provided by Parent to the Exchange Agent in respect of the Depositary Shares shall be satisfied to the extent Parent provides such deliverables directly to the Depositary (or, to the extent that the Depositary is not itself the registered holder of the relevant Scheme Shares that underly Company ADSs, whichever nominee, custodian or other entity is the Scheme Shareholder in respect of such Scheme Shares (the “Depositary Custodian”)) pursuant to the procedures contemplated by Section 2.01(c).

3

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company and Parent shall establish procedures with the Depositary that are reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent to ensure that (i) the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) shall promptly deliver the Per ADS Share Deliverables to each holder of a Company ADS (in the case of certificated Company ADSs, that has duly surrendered Company ADSs to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian)), (ii) (A) any funds payable to holders of Company ADSs in respect of dividends or other distributions payable with respect to Exchange Shares and (B) if reasonably practicable, unless other arrangements are reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, the right of holders of Company ADSs to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares from the Depositary or the Depositary Custodian, shall each be treated, as closely as reasonably possible, in the same manner as provided under Section 2.01(d), Section 2.01(e) or Section 2.07(b)(i), as applicable, and (iii) if reasonably practicable, the Share Deliverables in respect of the Depositary Shares will be delivered directly by Parent to the Depositary rather than through the Exchange Agent. If reasonably deemed necessary by the Parties in furtherance of the establishment of such procedures, the Company shall enter into one or more amendments to the Deposit Agreement that are reasonably acceptable to the Depositary, the Company and Parent, and the Parties shall deliver any certificates and opinions of counsel reasonably requested by the Depositary in connection therewith. The Company ADS holders will bear all fees, charges and expenses that they are required to bear under the Deposit Agreement in connection with the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated hereby, the cancellation of the Company ADSs and the receipt of the Per ADS Share Deliverables. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable in respect of the Company ADSs.

(d) Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Exchange Agent to be held in the Company Exchange Fund, the aggregate amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to the Exchange Shares (other than the Exchange Shares to be delivered to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) to the extent such Exchange Shares are delivered directly to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) by Parent rather than through the Exchange Agent), with a record date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of the delivery of the Exchange Shares by the Exchange Agent to the Scheme Shareholders entitled to the Share Deliverable. Subject to Applicable Law, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the relevant Scheme Shareholders entitled to the Share Deliverable, without interest, such dividends and distributions held in the Company Exchange Fund (i) with respect to all such dividends or distributions with a payment date at or prior to the delivery of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement, at the time of delivery of the Exchange Shares to such Scheme Shareholders, and (ii) with respect to all such dividends or distributions with a payment date after the delivery of the Exchange Shares pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement, at the appropriate payment date.

(e) Any portion of the Company Exchange Fund which has not been transferred to the holders of Scheme Shares within twelve months of the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or its designee(s) promptly upon demand by Parent (it being understood that no such delivery shall affect any legal right that a Scheme Shareholder may have to receive the Share Deliverables), and thereafter such Scheme Shareholders shall be entitled to look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Share Deliverables pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

4

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Parent, any member of the Parent Group, any DR Nominee, the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) or any other Person acting as agent for, or otherwise at the direction of, any of the foregoing Persons, including any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, will be liable to the Company, Scheme Shareholders or any other Person in respect of the Share Deliverables (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) from the Company Exchange Fund or any other cash or property delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Laws.

Section 2.02 Delivery of Exchange Shares.

(a) Subject to and in exchange for the transfer of the Scheme Shares pursuant to Section 2.01 and the Scheme of Arrangement, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time (and in any event, in accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement, no later than the Business Day following the Effective Time if the Company provides, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, evidence that the Effective Time has occurred, or if the Company provides such evidence after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date, no later than the second Business Day after such delivery), Parent shall, in accordance with the Scheme of Arrangement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof and subject to Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.07, procure the delivery of, for each Scheme Share, 0.7729 Exchange Shares (the “Share Deliverable” or the “Share Consideration” and the ratio that an Exchange Share bears to each Scheme Share being the “Exchange Ratio”), to the Scheme Shareholders, fully paid, non-assessable and free from all Liens (other than transfer restrictions arising under applicable securities laws or Liens imposed by the applicable Scheme Shareholder).

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Ordinary Shares or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed to, or exchanged for, a different number or class of shares or securities by reason of any stock dividend, bonus issue, scrip dividend, subdivision, reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification, redesignation, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, combination or exchange of shares, or a stock or scrip dividend shall be declared with a record date within such period, or any similar event shall have occurred (or if the number of Company Ordinary Shares represented by each Company ADS shall have been changed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), then the Exchange Ratio (and/or the Per ADS Share Deliverable), as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide to Parent and the Scheme Shareholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.02(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 6.01 or the other terms of this Agreement or permit Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 7.01 or the other terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.03 Company Long Term Incentive Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested and whether in- or out-of-the money and whether market or nil priced and whether subject to time-based vesting conditions, performance-based vesting conditions, or a combination thereof) and that is held by a Continuing Service Provider: (each, an “Assumed Company Option”) shall, automatically by virtue of the Transaction and without further action on the part of the holder thereof at the time of the Closing, cease to represent a right to acquire Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such Assumed Company Option and be converted into an option to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock (each such option, a “Parent Option”) on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions, and subject to the Company Retention Plan) as applied to such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that: (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Parent Option shall be determined by multiplying: (A) the number of Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole share; and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Parent Option shall be determined by dividing: (A) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole cent; provided further that to the extent an Assumed Company Option is subject to performance-vesting conditions, (x) such performance-vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of all relevant performance goals in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto or (2) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end immediately pre ceding the Closing in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto and only that portion of such Company Option shall become a Parent Option and (y) the remaining portion of such Assumed Company Option, if any, shall be immediately forfeited without payment therefor, not become a Parent Option, and not be eligible for payment under Section 2.03(b). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the exercise price of each Parent Option, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to each Parent Option and the terms and conditions of each Parent Option shall in all events be determined, to the extent applicable to the Parent Option, in compliance with (1) Section 409A of the Code, in the case of any Assumed Company Options that are subject to Section 409A, (2) Section 424(a) of the Code, in the case of any Assumed Company Option that qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, (3) Schedule 4, ITEPA in the case of any Assumed Company Option that is a CSOP Option or (4) Schedule 5, ITEPA in the case of any Assumed Company Option that is an EMI Option.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Share Option that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is not an Assumed Company Option (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes each Company Share Option that is held by any Person who is not a Continuing Service Provider) shall, automatically by virtue of the Transaction and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying the portion of such Company Share Option that is

6

vested (including vesting pursuant to the Company Retention Plan) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, less (ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum of the aggregate per share exercise price of such Company Share Option plus applicable Tax withholding amount and other authorized deductions arising from the treatment of the Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), by (B) the Parent Stock Price; provided further that to the extent a Company Share Option under this Section 2.03(b) is subject to performance-vesting conditions, (x) such performance-vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of all relevant performance goals in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto or (2) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding the Closing in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto and only that portion of such Company Share Option shall become eligible for treatment under this Section 2.03(b) and (y) the remaining portion of such Company Share Option, if any, shall be immediately forfeited without payment therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Effective Time, each Company Share Option that is not an Assumed Company Option and that is outstanding, unexercised, and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled (solely with respect to such unvested portion) without the payment of any consideration therefor.

(c) At the Effective Time, each award of Company RSUs (whether subject to time-based vesting conditions, performance-based vesting conditions, or a combination thereof) that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Continuing Service Provider (each such Company RSU, an “Assumed Company RSU”) shall, automatically by virtue of the Transaction and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire Company ADSs, or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such award of Assumed Company RSUs and be converted into an award of restricted stock units covering shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent RSU”) on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting provisions, and subject to the Company Retention Plan, and once vested, each award of Parent RSUs will be settled only in shares of Parent Common Stock) as applied to such award of Assumed Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such award of Parent RSUs shall be determined by multiplying: (i) the number of Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying such award of Assumed Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time; by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole share; provided further that to the extent an award of Assumed Company RSUs is subject to performance-vesting conditions, (x) such performance-vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of all relevant performance goals in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto or (2) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding the Closing in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto and only that portion of such award of Assumed Company RSUs shall become an award of Parent RSUs and (y) the remaining portion of such award of Assumed Company RSUs shall be immediately forfeited without payment therefor, not become Parent RSUs, and not be eligible for payment under Section 2.03(d).

7

(d) At the Effective Time, each award of Company RSUs (whether subject to time-based vesting conditions, performance-based vesting conditions, or a combination thereof) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is not an Assumed Company RSU (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes each vested Company RSU that is held by a Continuing Service Provider and each Company RSU that is held by a Person who is not a Continuing Service Provider) shall, automatically by virtue of the Transaction and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, underlying the portion of such Company RSU award that is vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the Exchange Ratio, less (ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the applicable Tax withholding amount and other authorized deductions arising from the treatment of the Company RSUs pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), by (B) the Parent Stock Price; provided that to the extent an award of Company RSUs under this Section 2.03(d) is subject to performance-vesting conditions, (x) such performance-vesting conditions shall be deemed achieved at the greater of (1) the target level of achievement of all relevant performance goals in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto or (2) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end immediately preceding the Closing in accordance with the applicable award agreement relating thereto and only that portion of such award of Company RSUs shall become an award of Parent RSUs shall be eligible for the payment under this Section 2.03(d) and (y) the remaining portion of such award of Company RSUs, if any, shall be immediately forfeited without payment therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is not an Assumed Company RSU and that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled (solely with respect to such unvested portion) without the payment of any consideration therefor.

(e) Approval of the Company’s shareholders will be sought at the Company GM to amend the Articles so that any Company ADSs or Company Ordinary Shares, as applicable, issued or transferred after the Effective Date as a result of the vesting or exercise of any Company RSU or Company Share Option will automatically be transferred to, or to the order of, Parent in exchange for the provision by Parent of the same consideration payable per Section 2.01.

(f) Parent and the Company shall each take, or procure the taking of, all actions necessary and within their power, as applicable, to provide for the treatment of Company Shares Options and Company RSUs as set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03 and Parent and the Company shall cooperate regarding the form and terms of the communications to be made and dispatched to the holders of Company Share Options and Company RSUs setting out the treatment of Company Share Options and Company RSUs in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement.

(g) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, file an effective registration statement with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Parent Options and Parent RSUs. Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or statements for so long as such Parent Options and Parent RSUs remain outstanding.

Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Parent, any member of the Parent Group, any Affiliates of any member of the Parent Group, any DR Nominee, the Exchange Agent and any other Person shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Scheme of Arrangement (including the Share Deliverables) such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts (a) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, if required by Applicable Law; and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.05 Company and Parent Actions Prior to and at the Closing.

(a) On or prior to the Closing, the Company shall procure that a meeting of the Company Board is held at which resolutions are passed, conditional upon the delivery of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales (and effective as of the Effective Time), approving:

(i) the resignation of such directors of the Company (and, if required by Parent, the Company secretary) as Parent shall determine from the Company Board (or as the Company secretary); and

(ii) the appointment of such persons as Parent shall determine as the directors of the Company (and, if required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, as the Company secretary).

(b) To the extent such resigning director of the Company (and, if required by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the secretary of the Company) also sits on the board of directors or governing body of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, on or prior to the Closing, the Company shall procure that a meeting of the board of directors or other governing body of such Subsidiary is held at which resolutions are passed, conditional upon the delivery of the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales (and effective as of the Effective Time), providing for the resignation of such Person from the board of directors or governing body of such Subsidiary.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a letter of resignation (in customary form) from (or evidence of the removal of) each director or secretary who is to resign in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(i) (provided, that the delivery thereof shall not be a condition to the Closing).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time and effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint two (2) members of the Company Board, as of the date hereof, to the Parent Board (the “Company Directors”). One Company Director shall be assigned to Class II of the Parent Board, and the other Company Director shall be assigned to Class III of the Parent Board. The Company Directors shall be selected by the Company, subject to Parent’s approval in compliance with the fiduciary duties under Applicable Law of the Parent Board, prior to the time of the initial filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC; provided, however, that if either such Company-selected directors become unable or unwilling to serve on the Parent Board, then the Company may select prior to the Effective Time an alternative member of the Company Board who, subject to approval by Parent in compliance with the fiduciary duties under Applicable Law of the Parent Board, will be appointed to the Parent Board in the same class as the Company Director he or she is replacing effective as of the Effective Time.

9

Section 2.06 Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Scheme of Arrangement, at any time before or after the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall each execute any further instruments, deeds, documents, conveyances, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Transaction and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.07 No Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional Exchange Shares shall be delivered to Scheme Shareholders in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued.

(b) Any fraction of an Exchange Share to which (i) any Scheme Shareholder other than the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) would otherwise be entitled will be aggregated and sold in the market by the Exchange Agent as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and such Scheme Shareholder shall be paid in cash, after the Closing Date, with the net proceeds of the sale (after the deduction of the expenses of the sale (including any Tax and amounts in respect of irrecoverable VAT payable thereon), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.04) in due proportion to the fractional shares to which they would otherwise have been entitled, and (ii) the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian) would otherwise be entitled will be substituted with a direct cash payment to the Depositary (or the Depositary Custodian), representing the Depositary’s entitlement to a fractional Exchange Share valued using the opening price on Nasdaq of a share of Parent Common Stock on the Effective Date. The Parties acknowledge that payments above in lieu of fractional Exchange Shares were not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represent mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the delivery of fractional shares of Exchange Shares.

Article III

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHEME; PROXY STATEMENT; SHAREHOLDER AND STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS

Section 3.01 Preparation and Delivery of the Joint Proxy Statement.

(a) The Company and Parent shall cooperate to, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof (with the Parties using their respective commercially reasonable efforts to do so within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof) prepare and file with the SEC, in accordance with Applicable Law, the Company Organizational Document and the Parent Organizational Documents, as applicable, joint proxy materials, in preliminary form, consisting of (i) a proxy statement of the Company relating to the Company Shareholder Meetings, which shall, among other customary items, contain and set out the terms and conditions of the Scheme of

Arrangement, the explanatory statement required by section 897 of the Companies Act and the notices convening the Scheme Meeting and the Company GM, and (ii) a proxy statement of Parent relating to the matters to be submitted to the holders of Parent capital stock (the “Parent Stockholders”) at a meeting of the stockholders of Parent (the “Parent Stockholder Meeting”) to approve the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq (the “Parent Share Issuance”) (such joint proxy materials, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement,” and such matters within the Proxy Statement that relate to the Scheme of Arrangement, the “Scheme Document Annex”).

(b) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (with the Company using its commercially reasonable efforts to do so within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, except to the extent the Company is unable to do so due to Parent’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Article III), prepare a draft of any other documentation which is to be filed, published and/or mailed in connection with the Scheme Document Annex (including the forms of proxy for use by the Company Shareholders at the Company GM and by the Scheme Shareholders at the Scheme Meeting (the “Forms of Proxy”)) (collectively the “Ancillary Scheme Documentation”).

(c) If either the Company or Parent determine that it is required pursuant to Applicable Law to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Transaction (such document, as amended or supplemented, an “Other Required Filing”), the Parties shall cooperate to promptly prepare and file such Other Required Filing with the SEC.

(d) The Company and Parent shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement (including the Scheme Document Annex), the Ancillary Scheme Documentation and any Other Required Filing (and, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) (together, the “Transaction Documentation”) to comply in all material respects with Applicable Law (including the Companies Act and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq) and have the Proxy Statement clear any SEC review and file the Proxy Statement in definitive form as promptly as practicable after the initial filing thereof (and completion of any SEC review) and shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement (including the Scheme Document Annex) and Forms of Proxy (together with any other Ancillary Scheme Documentation to be mailed) to be mailed to the Company Shareholders and the Parent Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Parties learn that the preliminary Proxy Statement will not be reviewed or that the SEC staff has no further comments thereon and the Court approves the convening of the Scheme Meeting.

(e) Neither Party shall file, publish or mail any Transaction Documentation or respond to any requests or comments of the SEC with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without affording the other Party reasonably sufficient time to consider the Transaction Documentation and shall take into consideration in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party, or respond to any request or comment or requirement from the Court in respect of the Transaction Documentation or the Court Documentation (save in respect of a requirement that is, in the Company’s King’s Counsel reasonable view, minor, technical or administrative nature which is not materially adverse to the interests of Parent) without having provided the other

11

Party with reasonable opportunity to comment on any such response so far as it is able and having taken into consideration in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party (provided in the case of any comment or request at a Court hearing at which Parent or its Representatives have attended such Court hearing in person, the oral consent of Parent or any such Representative shall suffice), except that no such consent, consultation or consideration shall be required (i) with respect to disclosure regarding a Company Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with Section 6.02 or (ii) with respect to disclosure regarding a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with Section 7.02.

(f) Each Party shall advise the other Party promptly after it receives any oral or written request by the SEC or the Court (outside a Court hearing at which Parent or its Representative are present in person)) for amendment of any of the Transaction Documentation or the Court Documentation or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC or Court (outside a Court hearing at which Parent or its Representative are present in person)) for additional information, and promptly provide Parent with copies of any written communication from the SEC or the Court or any state securities commission and use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments, responses or requests by the SEC or the Court with respect to the Transaction Documentation and the Court Documentation. Each Party shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the other Party of any matter of which it becomes aware which would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the filing, publication or mailing of any Transaction Documentation.

15

(xix) following the Company Shareholder Meetings, if the Company Shareholder Approvals have been obtained and all other conditions set forth in Article IX are satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) waived (other than (A) those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (but subject to those conditions being able to be satisfied or having been waived) and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 9.01(b), take all necessary steps on the part of the Company, including to prepare and issue, serve and lodge all such court documents as are required, to seek the sanction of the Court to the Scheme of Arrangement as promptly as practicable thereafter; provided that the Company shall be permitted to make honest and complete disclosure to the Court at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement as required by Applicable Law;

(xx) give such undertakings as are required by the Court in connection with the Scheme of Arrangement;

(xxii) to the extent not covered by the foregoing clauses (a)(i) through (xxi) of this Section 3.02, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and in good faith, and procure that its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives cooperate in good faith, with the Parent Group and their respective Representatives in preparing the Transaction Documentation and Court Documentation, convening and holding the Company Shareholder Meetings and obtaining the sanction of the Court of the Scheme of Arrangement (including making such confirmations to the Court and otherwise engaging with the Court, and instructing its counsel to engage with the Court, in such manner as to obtain such sanction from the Court); provided that the Company shall be permitted to (x) make honest and complete disclosure to the Court at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement as required by Applicable Law or (y) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.02) as expeditiously as practicable.

20

Scheme Meeting; or (B) there is a blot on the Scheme (as per the decision of ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in Re TDG [2009] 1 BCLC 445 at [29]) (each of (A) and (B) being a “Scheme Technical Defect”), which reasonably appears to be capable of remedy and/or rectification without having any material adverse commercial or financial impact for Parent in its judgment (acting reasonably having taken external legal advice) or the Company or its shareholders (in the Company’s judgment, acting reasonably having taken external legal advice);

(ii) after the Company Shareholders’ Meeting has been held, in circumstances where the Company Shareholder Resolution has not been lawfully passed due to a technical and/or procedural defect(s) being either: (A) on the grounds that the relevant provisions of the Companies Act or Applicable Law have not been complied with; or (B) a failure to comply with the Company Organizational Document, which reasonably appears to be capable of remedy and/or rectification without having any material adverse commercial or financial impact for Parent (in its judgment, acting reasonably having taken external legal advice)) or the Company or its shareholders (in the Company’s judgment, acting reasonably having taken external legal advice); or

Section 4.01 Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a public limited company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of England and Wales. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority required to own or lease all of its properties or assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to have such power and authority (a) has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (b) would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction. The Company is duly qualified to do business and, where applicable, is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification and/or standing is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing (i) has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transaction. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has made available to Parent a true and complete copy of the articles of association of the Company (the “Company Organizational Document”) as in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Company Organizational Document is in full force and effect and the Company is not in violation of the Company Organizational Document in any material respect. The Company has made available prior to the date of this Agreement true and complete copies of the minute books of the Company Board from the Reference Date to the date hereof; provided, however, that (A) the Company has redacted such materials to the extent necessary to omit information concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, competitively or commercially sensitive information or privileged information and (B) minutes of meetings that pertain solely to discussion of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby have not been provided.

Section 4.02 Corporate Authorization.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are within the corporate powers and authority of the Company and, except for the Company Shareholder Approvals and the sanction of the Scheme of Arrangement by the Court, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The Company Shareholder Approvals are the only votes of the Company Shareholders or the holders of any other Equity Securities of the Company necessary in connection with this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent) constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium

22

and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally, and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity (collectively, the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions”)) and, subject to its approval by Company Shareholders and sanction by the Court, the Scheme of Arrangement will be a valid, legal and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, the Company Board (i) unanimously resolved that this Agreement, the Scheme of Arrangement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including the Transaction) are fair to and in the best interests of the Company for the benefit of the Company Shareholders as a whole, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Transaction) and (iii) unanimously resolved to recommend that the Company Shareholders approve the Scheme of Arrangement at the Scheme Meeting and the passing of the Company Shareholder Resolution at the Company GM (such recommendation referred to herein as the “Company Board Recommendation”).

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approvals (the “Company Approval Time”), the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a material breach of this Section 6.02, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, subject to compliance with Section 6.02(c), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources and (ii) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement that (A) does not contain any provision that would prevent the Company from complying with its obligation to provide disclosure to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.02 and (B) contains provisions that, in each case, are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that no such confidentiality agreement shall be required to contain any standstill or similar provisions) (such a confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement”), a copy of which Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement shall be provided to Parent promptly after its execution; provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information is non-public and has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party.

78

(c) The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its or their Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the Person(s) making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal offer or request. The Company shall thereafter (i) keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material developments (including material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal) or changes in the status and details (including any changes to the type and amount of consideration) of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request and (ii) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to Parent unredacted copies of any written proposals, indications of interest, draft agreements and other written materials relating to the financial terms or other material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives and the Person(s) making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives.

(d) Anything in this Section 6.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the Company Approval Time, if the Company Board receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a material breach of this Section 6.02 and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Company Board may, subject to compliance with this Section 6.02(d), (i) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(d)(iii); provided, that (A) the Company shall first notify Parent in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that the Company intends to take such action, which notice shall include an unredacted copy of such proposal and a copy of any financing commitments (in the form provided to the Company) relating thereto (and, to the extent not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person(s) making any such Acquisition Proposal), (B) the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and their Representatives during such four Business Day notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Parent to jointly propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (C) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by Parent, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such revisions proposed by Parent were to be given effect, and after consultation with the Company’s

79

outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action in response to such Superior Proposal would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (D) in the event of any change, from time to time, to any of the financial terms or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence each time, except each such notice period shall be two Business Days (instead of four Business Days), during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.02(d) anew with respect to each such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso.

(e) Anything in Section 6.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time prior to Company Approval Time, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in clauses (v), (vi) or (viii) (to the extent relating to the foregoing clauses (v) or (vi)) of the definition thereof in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, that (i) the Company shall first notify Parent in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that the Company intends to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event (including the facts and circumstances providing the basis for the determination by the Company Board to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and their Representatives during such four Business Day period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable Parent to jointly propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) the Company and its Representatives shall provide to Parent and their Representatives all applicable information with respect to such Intervening Event reasonably requested by Parent to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of the Agreement, and (iv) upon the end of such notice period, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any such revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(f) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, cease immediately any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to or ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or potential (including if such discussions or negotiations were for the purpose of soliciting any) Acquisition Proposal or with respect to any indication, proposal, request or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly instruct any such Third Party (and any of its Representatives) in possession of confidential information about the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such discussions or negotiations to return or destroy all such information promptly after the date hereof in accordance with the relevant confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Third Party. The Company shall enforce, and not waive, terminate or modify without Parent’s prior written consent, any confidentiality, standstill or similar provision in any confidentiality, standstill or other agreement (other than in the Confidentiality Agreement), unless the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

80

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall prevent the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any required disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act; provided, that in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii), any such action or disclosure that would constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.02, or (iv) making honest and complete disclosure to the Court at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement as required by Applicable Law.

Section 6.03 Takeover Statutes. The Company shall (a) take all action within its control necessary, if any, so that no “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar anti-takeover laws or regulations, or any similar provision of the Company Organizational Document is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) if any such anti-takeover law, regulation or provision is or becomes applicable to the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby, cooperate and grant such approvals and take such actions within its control as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall not take (or omit to take) any action which would reasonably be expected to result in (i) the Takeover Code applying to the Company, the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement becoming subject to the jurisdiction of the Panel. If, at any time, the Company receives a notification or communication from the Panel to the effect that it may assert jurisdiction over the Transaction or that the Company may be or become subject to the Takeover Code, the Company shall notify Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable. In such circumstances, each of the Parties agrees that it shall reasonably cooperate with each other in making representations to the Panel to seek a ruling that the Company is not subject to the Takeover Code and, if necessary, to appeal such ruling to the Panel’s Hearings Committee and the Takeover Appeal Board.

81

properties, offices, personnel, Contracts, books, and records all other information concerning its businesses, properties and personnel (other than any of the foregoing to the extent specifically related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, or, except as expressly provided in Section 6.02, to any Acquisition Proposal), in each case, as any member of the Parent Group or its relevant Representatives (as applicable) reasonably requests in anticipation or furtherance of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including for integration planning) and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal business operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. During such period described in the immediately preceding sentence, on reasonable notice and subject to Applicable Law and during normal business hours, the Company shall instruct its pertinent Representatives to reasonably cooperate with the Parent Group in their review of any such information provided or made available pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Anything to the contrary in Section 6.04(b) notwithstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide such access or disclosure of information if it (i) would, as reasonably determined based on the advice of outside counsel, jeopardize any attorney-client, attorney-work product or other similar privilege with respect to such information, (ii) would contravene any Applicable Law or confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date hereof or after the date hereof in the ordinary course of business, (iii) would result in the disclosure of any valuations of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other strategic alternatives, (iv) would be for the purpose of disclosure of such information in any Proceeding between the Parties; provided, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which such restrictions apply (including (x) obtaining any required consent from any Third Party and (y) redacting such information (A) to remove references concerning valuation, (B) as necessary to comply with any Contract in effect on the date of this Agreement or after the date of this Agreement and (C) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client, work-product or other privilege or confidentiality concerns) and to provide such information as to the applicable matter as can be conveyed.

(d) Anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04 notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 6.04 shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives to prepare any financial statements, projections, reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available.

Section 7.02 No Solicitation by Parent.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the valid termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 7.02, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, participate in, knowingly facilitate, knowingly assist or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making or submission of, any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) (A) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations in respect of any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request or (B) furnish to any Third Party any information in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, indication of interest, proposal offer or request, (iii) enter into or adopt any letter of intent, heads of terms, memorandum of understanding or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle (whether written or oral, binding or nonbinding) with respect to a Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement), (iv) recommend or approve or publicly propose to recommend, adopt or approve any Parent Acquisition Proposal, (v) withdraw, or qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to the Company (or publicly propose to withdraw, or qualify, amend or modify in a manner adverse to the Company), the Parent Board Recommendation, or resolve or agree to take any such action, (vi) fail to include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and the Scheme Document Annex, (vii) take any action to make any “moratorium”, “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “supermajority”, “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar anti-takeover laws and regulations inapplicable to any Parent Acquisition Proposal, or (viii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing clauses (iv)-(vi) or clause (viii) (to the extent relating to clauses (iv)-(vi)), a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval (the “Parent Approval Time”), the Parent Board receives a bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a material breach of this Section 7.02, the Parent Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, if the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Superior Proposal and, after consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, subject to compliance with Section 7.02(c), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources and (ii) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources information relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement that (A) does not contain any provision that would prevent Parent from complying with its obligation to provide disclosure to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.02 and (B) contains provisions that, in each case, are not materially less favorable to Parent than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that no such confidentiality agreement shall be required to contain any standstill or similar provisions) (such a confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement”), a copy of which Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement shall be provided to the Company promptly after its execution; provided, that all such information (to the extent that such information is non-public and has not been previously provided or made available to the Company) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party.

86

(c) Parent shall notify the Company as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of Parent, any of its or their Representatives of any Parent Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal or offer, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the Person(s) making, and the material terms and conditions of, any such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal offer or request. Parent shall thereafter (i) keep the Company reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material developments (including material oral communications relating to the terms and conditions of any Parent Acquisition Proposal) or changes in the status and details (including any changes to the type and amount of consideration) of any such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request and (ii) as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to the Company unredacted copies of any written proposals, indications of interest, draft agreements and other written materials relating to the financial terms or other material terms and conditions of such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request exchanged between Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives and the Person(s) making such Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives.

(d) Anything in this Section 7.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the Parent Approval Time, if the Parent Board receives a bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that has not resulted from a material breach of this Section 7.02 and the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal and, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action in response to such Parent Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Parent Board may, subject to compliance with this Section 7.02(d), (i) make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(c)(iii); provided, that (A) Parent shall first notify the Company in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Parent intends to take such action, which notice shall include an unredacted copy of such proposal and a copy of any financing commitments (in the form provided to Parent) relating thereto (and, to the extent not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the Person(s) making any such Parent Acquisition Proposal), (B) Parent and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the Company and its Representatives during such four Business Day notice period, to the extent the Company wishes to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable the Company to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (C) upon the end of such notice period, the Parent Board shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by the Company, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal if such revisions proposed by the Company were to be given effect and, after consultation with

87

Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action in response to such Parent Superior Proposal would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (D) in the event of any change, from time to time, to any of the financial terms or any other material terms of such Parent Superior Proposal, Parent shall, in each case, have delivered to the Company an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence each time, except each such notice period shall be two Business Days (instead of four Business Days), during which time Parent shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 7.02(d) anew with respect to each such additional notice, including clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso.

(e) Anything in Section 7.02(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, at any time prior to Parent Approval Time, the Parent Board may make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in clauses (v), (vi) or (viii) (to the extent relating to the foregoing clauses (v) or (vi)) of the definition thereof in response to a Parent Intervening Event if the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, that (i) Parent shall first notify the Company in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action that Parent intends to take such action, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Parent Intervening Event (including the facts and circumstances providing the basis for the determination by the Parent Board to effect such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) Parent and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with the Company and its Representatives during such four Business Day period, to the extent the Company wishes to negotiate and make itself reasonably available to negotiate, to enable the Company to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (iii) Parent and its Representatives shall provide to the Company and its Representatives all applicable information with respect to such Parent Intervening Event reasonably requested by the Company to permit it to propose revisions to the terms of the Agreement, and (iv) upon the end of such notice period, the Parent Board shall have considered in good faith any such revisions to the terms of this Agreement committed to in a binding written proposal by the Company, and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Parent Intervening Event would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(f) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, cease immediately any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to or ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or potential (including if such discussions or negotiations were for the purpose of soliciting any) Parent Acquisition Proposal or with respect to any indication, proposal, request or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal and shall promptly instruct any such Third Party (and any of its Representatives) in possession of confidential information about Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of Parent in connection with such discussions or negotiations to return or destroy all such information promptly after the date hereof in accordance with the relevant confidentiality agreement between Parent and such Third Party. Parent shall enforce, and not waive, terminate or modify without the Company’s prior written consent, any confidentiality, standstill or similar provision in any confidentiality, standstill or other agreement (other than in the Confidentiality Agreement), unless the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

88

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall prevent the Parent Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Parent Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the 1934 Act, (ii) making any required disclosure to the Parent Stockholders if the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Parent Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act; provided, that in the case of any of (i), (ii) or (iii), any such action or disclosure that would constitute a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) Parent agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, existing as at the date of this Agreement in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective articles of association or other organizational documents or in any agreement or deed of indemnity shall survive the Transaction and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, Parent shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect any and all exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the articles of association or similar organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect as at the date of this Agreement or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors or officers in effect as at the date of this Agreement, and to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions or any such indemnification agreements or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Proceeding or resolution of such claim. Following the Closing Parent shall cause the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 7.03(a).

(b) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or each person who has served as a manager, director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law against

89

any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking consistent with Applicable Law and the Company Organizational Document, as applicable, to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Proceeding, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by them in their capacities as such occurring or alleged to have occurred at or before the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with (x) such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or (y) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or arising at or before the Effective Time (provided that Parent may substitute these for policies with a carrier with reasonably comparable credit ratings to the existing carrier of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that it reasonably considers are no less favorable to the insureds); provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages (the “Maximum Amount”) required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case where the quoted premium exceeds the Maximum Amount, it shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Amount. If the Company or Parent elects, then the Company or Parent, as applicable, may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” providing insurance coverage, benefits and terms no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall the cost of such policy exceed the Maximum Amount (it being understood and agreed that the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall, where the quoted premium for the “tail policy” exceeds the Maximum Amount, purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Amount) and, if such a “tail policy” is purchased, there shall be no further obligations under this Section 7.03(c).

(d) In the event that after the Effective Time (i) Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, or (ii) Parent or any of its respective successors or assigns dissolves the Company, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.03.

(e) The obligations of Parent under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (including their successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 7.03 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision

90

of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, (i) the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.03 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.03, and (ii) this Section 7.03 shall survive consummation of the Transaction and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives against Parent and its successors and assigns.

Section 7.04 Section 16 Matters(a) . Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law) to cause any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities referencing the same) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Neither Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries, shall extend any waiting period under the HSR Act (by pull and refile or otherwise) or enter into any agreement with the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent shall pay, or cause its Subsidiaries to pay, all filing fees required under any applicable Antitrust Law or any applicable Foreign Investment Law for the consummation of the Transaction. Other than in connection with obtaining the Consents and non-disapprovals described in Section 4.03 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or any other Filings required or requested (in writing) to be made by a Governmental Authority (in any such case, following discussions among such Governmental Authority, Parent, the Company and their respective Representatives, Parent shall not, and shall ensure its Subsidiaries shall not, make any Filings under any applicable Antitrust Law or any Foreign Investment Law with any Governmental Authority regarding the Transaction without the prior written consent of the Company (unless Parent is directed to make a filing under Foreign Investment Laws by the relevant Governmental Authority), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Agreement as “outside counsel only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel; provided, however, that materials provided pursuant to this Agreement may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of or future plans for Parent or the Company, as applicable, or the Transaction, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual obligations or Applicable Law and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, further, that, if requested by Parent, the Company or its Subsidiaries will become subject to, consent to or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order; provided, further, that in no event will Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries be required to effect any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order that is not conditioned upon the Closing occurring.

Section 8.03 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Closing Date until the 12 month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), with respect to each individual who is employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, for all purposes of this Section 8.03, persons indirectly employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries through a professional employer organization or employer of record) immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continues to be employed by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries immediately following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”), while Continuing Employee continues to be employed by the Company, Parent or any of their Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to during the Benefits Continuation Period, provide to each Continuing Employee: (i) an annual base salary or wage rate that is not less than the annual base salary or wage rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) a total annual incentive compensation target opportunity (including both cash and equity-based compensation components) that is not less, in the aggregate, than the total annual incentive compensation target opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iii) severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iv) leave-related benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (v) other employee benefits (including retirement, employee health, AD&D and life insurance benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to such benefits as provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time or as may be required to be provided to such Continuing Employee pursuant to Applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.03(a) shall not limit any obligations to any Continuing Employee under (A) any employment agreement entered into with such Continuing Employee, (B) any standard written terms of employment or engagement pursuant to which each group of employees, consultants or independent contractors of the Company and its Subsidiaries are employed or engaged that are applicable to such Continuing Employees and (C) the Company Retention Plan.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan in which any Continuing Employee first becomes eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time (the “New Company Plans”), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause the waiver of all pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee under any New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which such Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time to the extent satisfied or waived under a comparable Company Employee Plan, (ii) cause the recognition of service of Continuing Employees (to the extent credited by the Company or its Subsidiaries in any comparable Company Employee Plan) accrued prior to the Effective Time for

95

all purposes under (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan) any New Company Plan in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time, provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service, and (iii) if applicable, cause to be credited, in any New Company Plan that is a health or welfare plan in which Continuing Employees participate, any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and such Continuing Employee’s beneficiaries and dependents during the portion of the calendar year in which such Continuing Employee first becomes eligible for the New Company Plan that occurs prior to such Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in such New Company Plan with the objective that there be no double counting during the first year of eligibility of such deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, upon any transition to New Company Plans or Parent Employee Plans that provide for severance benefits that are based on service credit, Continuing Employees shall be credited with service accrued prior to the Effective Time for all relevant purposes under such plan(s).

(c) Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) and any and all Company Employee Plans that include group severance pay or benefits, unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that any such Company 401(k) Plan or other Company Employee Plan shall not be terminated. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that all such Company 401(k) Plans and other Company Employee Plans have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors (or similar body) of the Company or its applicable Subsidiary. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent. The Company and its Subsidiaries also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such Company 401(k) Plans and other Company Employee Plans as Parent may require. If the distributions of assets from the trust of any Company 401(k) Plan that is terminated pursuant to this Section 8.03(c) are reasonably anticipated to cause or result in liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such Company 401(k) Plan or upon the Company or any participating employer, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to estimate the amount of such charges or other fees and provide its estimate of that amount in writing to Parent at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall adopt a severance and retention program as set out in Schedule 8.03(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Company Retention Plan”).

(e) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reasonably cooperate with Parent regarding any analysis conducted by the Company or Parent with respect to Section 280G of the Code and provide such information as reasonably requested by Parent to analyze the impact of Section 280G of the Code, in each case, following the execution of this Agreement, with respect to the “change in ownership or control” (as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and related guidance thereunder) of the Company that occurs as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide Parent (for Parent’s review and comment) (A) a reasonable, good faith estimate of the maximum amount (if any) that could be paid to each such “disqualified

96

individual” as a result of the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event, including any termination of employment on or following the Closing) and (B) the “base amount” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each such “disqualified individual,” in each case calculated as of the date of this Agreement, and on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with its final Section 280G of the Code analysis for Parent’s review and comment.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to be treated as an amendment to any Plan or any employee benefit plan or arrangement of the Company, Parent or any of their Affiliates, or to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall (i) alter or limit the ability of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (ii) create any rights to continued employment or service with the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates or in any way limit the ability of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment, engagement, appointment or service of any employee or other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Continuing Employee) at any time and for any reason.

Section 8.04 Public Announcements. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release to be in the form agreed on by the Company and Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement. Following such initial press release, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any additional press release, making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference, conference call or meeting with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference, conference call or meeting before such consultation (and, to the extent applicable, shall provide copies of any such press release, statement or agreement to the other Party and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other Party); provided, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.04 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, a Parent Acquisition Proposal, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change and any matters related thereto, (b) in connection with any dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Transaction or the other transactions contemplated hereby or (c) to the extent the information contained therein substantially reiterates (or is consistent with) previous releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company and/or Parent in compliance with this Section 8.04.

Section 8.05 Stock Exchange Delisting; Stock Exchange Listing.

(a) Each of the Company and Parent agrees to cooperate with the other Party in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist each Company ADS from the Nasdaq and terminate its registration under the 1934 Act; provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until the Effective Time.

97

(b) Parent shall take all necessary action to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock comprising the Share Deliverable to be listed on Nasdaq prior to the Effective Time.

Section 8.06 Switching.

(b) If the Transaction is implemented by way of an Offer pursuant to and in accordance with clause (a) above:

(i) Parent shall (A) prepare the document to be dispatched to (amongst others) the Company Shareholders under which any Offer would be made (the “Offer Document”), (B) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Exchange Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and (C) use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Offer Document and the Registration Statement to comply with the requirements of all relevant applicable securities laws and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC;

(ii) unless the Company shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall (A) cooperate with Parent to prepare the Offer Document, (B) prepare and file with the SEC concurrently with the commencement of the Offer a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 pertaining to the Offer, which shall include the Company Board Recommendation, the form of which shall be a Transaction Document (the “Schedule 14D-9”) and (C) use commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply with the requirements of all relevant applicable securities laws;

(iii) Parent shall ensure that (A) the acceptance condition to the Offer shall be set at 90% of the Company Ordinary Shares to which the Offer relates (or such lesser percentage as the Company and Parent may agree), (B) the only conditions of the Offer shall be those set out in Article IX (the “Conditions”) (except to the extent any such Condition shall have already been satisfied or waived) and an additional condition that the Transaction Agreement has not then been terminated in accordance with its terms (with the Conditions set forth in Section 9.01(a) and Section 9.01(b) replaced with the acceptance condition specified in Section 8.06(b)(iii)), and (C) the Offer shall lapse if all such Conditions are not satisfied or waived at the earlier of the End Date or the date falling six months from the date of the Offer (as such term is defined in section 991(1) of the Companies Act); and

98

(iv) each of the Offer Document, the Registration Statement and the Schedule 14D-9 shall be Transaction Documentation for purposes of this Agreement, and the representations and warranties of the Company and Parent contained in Section 4.07(h) and Section 5.10, respectively, and the covenants of the Parties set forth in Section 3.04 in respect of such documents and the information contained therein, shall apply (to the extent applicable to the Offer) to such Transaction Documentation mutatis mutandis.

(c) Unless the Company consents otherwise, Parent shall serve a notice under section 979 of the Companies Act to the holder of any shares to which the Offer relates which Parent has not acquired or unconditionally contracted to acquire, stating ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s desire to acquire those shares, as soon as reasonably practicable after Parent becomes entitled to do so under section 979 of the Companies Act and in any event within the time period specified by section 980(2)(b) of the Companies Act and in compliance with all other requirements of section 980 of the Companies Act.

(d) Parent may not elect to implement the Transaction by means of an Offer except as contemplated by this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent.

Section 8.07 Tax Matters.

(a) The Company and Parent shall (and shall, in the case of the Company, procure that each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives shall and, in the case of Parent, procure that each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives shall) provide such assistance and information as such other Party may reasonably request in connection with any matters relating to Tax in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in respect of any Tax clearances or Consents that any such Party may consider necessary or desirable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including in connection with any UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve Tax). The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, apply for confirmation from HMRC that the Court Order is not subject to United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve Tax and Parent shall provide any necessary undertakings required by HMRC as to the payment of stamp duty or stamp duty reserve Tax in connection with the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, failure to obtain such confirmation shall not constitute a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The Parties shall treat the Transaction for U.S. federal tax purposes as a taxable exchange (the “Intended U.S. Tax Treatment”), file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment and take no position that is inconsistent with the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code) or a change in Applicable Law after the date hereof.

Section 8.08 Transaction Litigation. Each Party shall promptly (and in any event, within 48 hours) notify the other Party of any shareholder demands or Proceedings (including derivative claims) commenced against it or its respective Subsidiaries and/or its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”) and shall keep the other Party informed on a reasonably current basis regarding any Transaction Litigation (including by promptly furnishing to the other

99

Party and its Representatives such information relating to such Transaction Litigation as may reasonably be requested by it and that would not reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of attorney client or other applicable legal privilege; provided, however, that each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide an alternative means of disclosing or providing such information to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such legal privilege and in the event that such Party or any of its Subsidiaries does not provide access or information in reliance on this clause, such Party shall provide notice to the other Party that information is being withheld). Other than to the extent such Transaction Litigation relates to an Acquisition Proposal in respect of which one Party has adverse interests with respect to the other Party, such Party shall give the other Party the opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense and settlement of any Transaction Litigation, shall consider in good faith the other Party’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation and shall give the other Party’s the opportunity to participate (at such other Party’s expense) in (but not control) the defense and settlement of such Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, neither Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall settle or offer to settle any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 8.09 Securities Act Exemption. If the Transaction is to be effected by means of the Scheme of Arrangement, Parent shall take the actions required to be taken by it to cause the Exchange Shares to be issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act and in reliance on exemptions from registration under state “blue sky” or securities laws.

The provisions of this Section 10.02, Section 10.03, Article XI (other than Section 11.12, except to the extent that Section 11.12 relates to the specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement that survive termination) and Annex A (to the extent related to the foregoing) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01.

Section 10.03 Termination Payment.

(a) Termination Payment by the Company

(i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (x) Section 10.01(b)(iv) (if the Company shall have communicated to the Court at the hearing to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement that the Company Board no longer supports the consummation of the Transaction or no longer wishes the Court to sanction the Scheme of Arrangement, or that the Company Board favors or approves of any Acquisition Proposal, or shall have made any other statement or communication to the Court to the effect of any of the foregoing), (y) Section 10.01(c)(i) or (z) Section 10.01(d)(iii) (or is terminated pursuant to another provision at a time that it is terminable pursuant to any such provision in the foregoing clauses (x)-(z)), or

105

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii) or Section 10.01(b)(iv); provided, in the case of this clause (ii), that (A) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known after the date of this Agreement and shall not have been publicly withdrawn without qualification at least four Business Days prior to the Company GM and the Scheme Meeting, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii), or prior to such termination, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iv), and (B) within 12 months of the date this Agreement is so terminated, (x) the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal and the transaction contemplated thereby is subsequently consummated (regardless of whether such consummation occurs within such 12-month period), or (y) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated; provided, that for purposes of this Section 10.03(a)(ii), all references to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”,

then, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 10.03(a), the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee), in cash, a payment in an amount equal to $6,880,000 (the “Company Termination Payment”) subject to adjustment under clause (f) below, (x) in the case of Section 10.03(a)(i), at or prior to, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, the termination of this Agreement in the case of a termination by the Company, or as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and, (y) in the case of Section 10.03(a)(ii), at or prior to the first to occur of (1) the entry into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal referred to therein and (y) the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal referred to therein.

(b) Termination Payment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇

(i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (x) Section 10.01(c)(iii) or (y) Section 10.01(d)(i) (or is terminated pursuant to another provision at a time that it is terminable pursuant to any such provision in the foregoing clauses (x) or(y)), or

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(v); provided, in the case of this clause (ii), that (A) a Parent Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or made publicly known after the date of this Agreement and shall not have been publicly withdrawn without qualification at least four Business Days prior to the Parent Stockholder Meeting and (B) within 12 months of the date this Agreement is so terminated, (x) Parent enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Parent Acquisition Proposal and the transaction contemplated thereby is subsequently consummated (regardless of whether such consummation occurs within such 12-month period), or (y) a Parent Acquisition Proposal is consummated; provided, that for purposes of this Section 10.03(a)(ii), all references to “20%” in the definition of Parent Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”,

106

then, in either the case of clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 10.03(b), Parent shall pay to the Company (or its designee), in cash, a payment in an amount equal to $58,770,000 (the “Parent Termination Payment”) subject to adjustment under clause (f) below, (x) in the case of Section 10.03(b)(i), at or prior to, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, the termination of this Agreement in the case of a termination by the Company, or as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination by Parent and (y) in the case of Section 10.03(b)(ii), at or prior to the first to occur of (1) the entry into a definitive agreement providing for a Parent Acquisition Proposal referred to therein and (y) the consummation of a Parent Acquisition Proposal referred to therein.

(c) Any payment of the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment, as applicable, shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in U.S. dollars) to an account designated in writing by the receiving Party.

(d) The parties agree and understand that in no event shall the Company or Parent, as applicable, be required to pay the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment, as applicable, on more than one occasion. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 10.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.03 do not constitute a penalty and that the Company or Parent, as applicable, will not be entitled to argue that the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment, as applicable, is unenforceable or should be reduced in any manner. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as applicable, fails to promptly pay any Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment, as applicable, due pursuant to this Section 10.03, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (together with any irrecoverable VAT incurred thereon, and including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent or the Company, as applicable, in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against the Company or Parent, as applicable. Any Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment not paid when due pursuant to this Section 10.03 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment. Other than in the case of fraud with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or Willful Breach, the amounts payable by the Company or Parent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.03(a), together with any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.03(d), shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Company and its Affiliates and Representatives or, as applicable, Parent and their Affiliates and Representatives, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in connection with which the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment is payable by the Company or Parent, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10.03(a) and the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment, as applicable, and any such additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.03(d) are actually paid to the Company or Parent, as applicable, for any and all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform by the Company of its covenants and agreements hereunder.

(e) The Parties intend that any payment of any Company Termination Payment or Parent Termination Payment, being compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT and, accordingly, (i) the Parties shall, and shall procure that the representative member of any VAT group of which it is a member shall,

107

use reasonable best efforts to secure that the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment as applicable, will not be subject to any VAT and (ii) the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount of any Termination Payment free and clear of any deduction or adjustment pursuant to the following Section 10.03(f).

(f) If a Taxing Authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the Company Termination Payment or the Parent Termination Payment constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in respect of which either (A) the recipient of the sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the recipient of the sum is a member) is liable to account for VAT or (B) the Company or Parent, as applicable, (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) is liable to account for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, then:

(i) in the case of Section 10.03(f)(A), to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by the Company or Parent, as applicable, (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum shall be increased to such amount so that the amount of the sum (including any amount in respect of VAT), less the amount of such repayment or credit in respect of input tax, equals the amount of the sum had no such VAT arisen; and

(ii) in the case of Section 10.03(f)(B), to the extent that any VAT chargeable on the supply is not recoverable by the Company or Parent, as applicable, (or the representative member of the VAT group of which it is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum shall be reduced to such amount so that the aggregate of the sum (as so reduced) and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the amount of the sum had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen.

(g) Any adjusting payment as may be required between the parties to give effect to Section 10.03(f) shall be made five Business Days after the date on which the determination by the Taxing Authority (or court or tribunal, as the case may be) has been communicated to the Party required to make the adjusting payment pursuant to Section 10.03(f) (together with such evidence of it as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide and, where Section 10.03(f)(A) applies, together with the provision of a valid VAT invoice) or, if later, five Business Days (y) in the case of Section 10.03(f)(A) after the date on which the VAT is recovered or (z) in the case of Section 10.03(f)(B) before the date on which the irrecoverable VAT is required to be accounted for (taking into account any applicable extensions of time), provided that in the case of Section 10.03(f)(B) the party making the adjusting payment has been given not less than 15 Business Days prior written notice of such date. The Party liable to account for any VAT shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which such party is a member shall) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 10.03(g)) and for the purposes of this Section 10.03(g) the extent of such repayment or credit shall be determined by such party, acting reasonably.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

110

Section 11.04 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense, except (i) all United Kingdom stamp duty and stamp duty reserve Tax and any other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transfer of the Scheme Shares pursuant to this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Parent, and Parent shall, at its own expense, file all necessary documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes; and (ii) in the event Closing has not occurred because the condition set forth in Section 9.01(f) or the condition set forth in Section 9.01(d) (solely in respect of the Antitrust Laws) has not been satisfied, Parent shall reimburse the Company (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by the Company in writing) for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Company’s defense of any enforcement action brought by a Governmental Authority under the Antitrust Laws relating to this Transaction, to the extent incurred after the commencement of such enforcement action, which reimbursement shall be made within five Business Days of submission by the Company to Parent of a request therefor.

111

Section 11.06 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all disputes, claims, actions, suits or proceedings based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules or principles that would result in the application of the law of any other state or jurisdiction; provided, however, that (a) the Scheme of Arrangement and (b) the interpretation of the duties of directors of the Company shall in each case of the foregoing clauses (a)-(b) be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales.

Section 11.07 Jurisdiction/Venue. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, solely if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the service of process in accordance with Section 11.01 in any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.07, the Scheme of Arrangement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court and any appellate courts therefrom, and not that of the above named courts.

Section 11.08 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.08.

112

Section 11.09 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, by email with .pdf attachments, or by other electronic signatures (including, DocuSign and AdobeSign), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.

Section 11.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.12 Specific Performance. The parties’ rights in this Section 11.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement (this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or under Applicable Law), without proof of actual damages, and each party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Nothing contained in this Section 11.12 shall require any party to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 11.12 before exercising any termination right under Section 10.01 (or pursuing the Company Termination Payment, the Parent Termination Payment

113

or damages), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 11.12 or anything contained in this Section 11.12 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

Section 11.13 Interpretation. The following rules of interpretation shall apply to this Agreement: (i) the words “hereof”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement; (ii) the table of contents and captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof; (iii) references to Articles, Sections and Exhibits are to Articles, Sections and Exhibits of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iv) all Exhibits and schedules annexed to this Agreement or referred to in this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule, are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full in this Agreement; (v) any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or schedules annexed to this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning set forth in this Agreement; (vi) any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular, and references to any gender shall include all genders; (vii) whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”, whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import; (viii) “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (ix) references to any Applicable Law shall be deemed to refer to such Applicable Law as amended from time to time and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder; (x) references to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person; (xi) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (xii) references to “dollars” and “$” means U.S. dollars; (xiii) the term “made available” and words of similar import mean that the relevant documents, instruments or materials were (A) with respect to Parent, posted and made available to Parent on the applicable due diligence data site (or in any “clean room” or as otherwise provided on an “outside counsel only” basis) with access provided to Parent and its Representatives, or, with respect to the Company, posted or made available to the Company on the applicable due diligence data site (or in any “clean room” or as otherwise provided on an “outside counsel only” basis) with access provided to the Company and its Representatives, as applicable, in each case, prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (B) provided via email or in person prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (including materials provided to outside counsel); or (C) filed or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement; (xiv) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other theory extends and such phrase shall not mean “if”; (xv) the parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement, (xvi) references to the Company Shareholders or other holders of Company Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to include holders of any Company ADS unless the context otherwise requires (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that Company ADSs are not themselves being acquired under the Scheme of Arrangement and do not constitute Scheme Shares); and (xvii) the terms “or”, “any” and “either” are not exclusive.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Scheme of Arrangement, Parent, any member of the Parent Group, any Affiliates of any member of the Parent Group, any DR Nominee, the Exchange Agent and any other Person shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement or the Scheme of Arrangement (including the Share Deliverables) such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other Applicable Law.

This Scheme of Arrangement shall become effective as soon as a copy of the Court Order shall have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies for England and Wales.

The Company and Parent may jointly consent on behalf of all persons concerned to any modification of, or addition to, this Scheme of Arrangement or to any condition which the Court may approve or impose.

(A) the directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee of the directors) be and are hereby authorized to take all such action as they may consider necessary or appropriate for carrying the Scheme of Arrangement into effect; and

(B) with effect from the passing of this resolution, the articles of association of the Company be and are hereby amended by the adoption and inclusion of the following new article [152]:

“[152]. Scheme of Arrangement

[152].1 In this article [152], references to the “Scheme of Arrangement” are to the scheme of arrangement dated [•] between the Company and the holders of Scheme Shares (as defined in the Scheme of Arrangement) under Part 26 of the Act in its original form or with or subject to any modification, addition or condition agreed between the Company and Recursion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Parent”) and approved or imposed by the High Court of Justice in England and Wales, and (save as defined in this article [152]) terms defined in the Scheme of Arrangement shall have the same meanings in this article [152].

[152].2 Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles or the terms of any resolution, whether ordinary or special, passed by the Company in general meeting, if the Company issues or transfers out of treasury any shares (other than to the Parent, any subsidiary of the Parent or its nominee(s) (each a “Parent Party”)) on or after the date of the adoption of this article [152] and prior to the Scheme Record Time, such shares shall be issued or transferred in the name of the relevant person subject to the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement (and shall be Scheme Shares for the purposes thereof) and the original or any subsequent holder or holders of such shares shall be bound by the Scheme of Arrangement accordingly.

[152].3 Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, if any shares in the Company are issued or transferred out of treasury to any person or such person’s nominee (other than a Parent Party) (a “New Member”) at or after the Scheme Record Time (each a “Post-Scheme Share”) such shares will, provided that the Scheme of Arrangement has become effective, be issued or transferred on terms that they shall (on the Effective Date) or, if later, on issue or transfer (but subject to the terms of this article [152].3 and article [152].6) be immediately transferred to the

Parent (or such persons as the Parent may direct) (the “Purchaser”), who shall be obliged to acquire each Post-Scheme Share in consideration of and conditional upon the Parent procuring delivery to the New Member of 0.7729 shares of Parent Common Stock (“Exchange Shares”) (the “Share Deliverable” and the ratio that an Exchange Share bears to each Scheme Share being the “Exchange Ratio”) for each Post-Scheme Share as would have been payable to a holder of the Scheme Shares under the Scheme of Arrangement, subject to article [152].5.

[152].4 The Exchange Shares allotted and issued or transferred to a New Member (or nominee) pursuant to paragraph [152].3 of this article shall be credited as fully paid and shall rank equally in all respects with all other fully paid Parent Common Stock in issue at that time (other than as regards any dividend or other distribution payable by reference to a record date preceding the date of allotment or transfer) and shall be subject to the constitution of Parent from time to time.

[152].5 No fraction of an Exchange Share shall be allotted, issued or transferred to a New Member (or nominee) pursuant to this article. Any fraction of an Exchange Share to which a New Member would otherwise have become entitled shall be aggregated with the fractional entitlements of any other New Members whose shares are being transferred under this article on the same date and the maximum whole number of Exchange Shares resulting therefrom shall be allotted and issued to a person appointed by the Company. Such Exchange Shares shall then be sold in the market as soon as practicable after their allotment and issue, and the net proceeds of sale (after the deduction of all expenses and commissions incurred in connection with such sale, including any value added tax payable on the proceeds of sale) shall be paid in sterling to the persons entitled thereto in due proportions (rounded down to the nearest ▇▇▇▇▇), except that individual entitlements to amounts of $5.00 or less shall be retained for the benefit of Parent.

[152].6 On any reorganisation of, or material alteration to, the share capital of the Company or the Parent (including, without limitation, any subdivision and/or consolidation) carried out after the Effective Date, or a stock or scrip dividend is declared with a record date after the Effective Date, or any similar event shall have occurred (or if the number of Company Ordinary Shares represented by each Company ADS shall have been changed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement), or the number or class of Company Ordinary Shares or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed or exchanged for a different number or class of Company Ordinary Shares or Parent Common Stock, then the Exchange Ratio and the Share Deliverable shall be appropriately adjusted by the directors in such manner as the auditors of the Company or an independent investment bank selected by the Company (whichever in their absolute discretion the directors may elect) may determine to be appropriate to reflect such reorganisation or alteration and to provide to Parent, Scheme Shareholders and New Members the same economic effect as contemplated under article [152].3. References in this article [152] to such shares shall, following such adjustment, be construed accordingly.

[152].7 Any New Member may, prior to the issue or transfer of any Post-Scheme Shares to them under any Company Share Plans or any other Company option, stock unit award, option equity award or other similar equity award plan, give not less than two Business Day’s written notice to the Company in such manner as the board shall prescribe of their intention to transfer some or all of such Post-Scheme Shares to their spouse or civil partner and may, if such notice has been validly given, on such Post-Scheme Shares being issued or transferred to them immediately transfer to their spouse or civil partner any such Post-Scheme Shares, provided that such Post-Scheme Shares

C-2

will then be immediately transferred from that spouse or civil partner to the Purchaser pursuant to this article [152] as if the spouse or civil partner were the relevant New Member. If notice has been validly given pursuant to this article but the New Member does not immediately transfer to their spouse or civil partner the Post-Scheme Shares in respect of which notice was given, such shares shall be transferred directly to Parent (or as it may direct) pursuant to this article.

[152].8 To give effect to any transfer of Post-Scheme Shares required by this article [152], Parent may appoint any person as attorney and/or agent for the New Member to transfer the Post-Scheme Shares to the Purchaser and execute and deliver as transferor a form or forms of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer (whether as a deed or otherwise) on behalf of the New Member (or any subsequent holder or any nominee of such New Member or any such subsequent holder) in favour of the Purchaser and do all such other things and execute and deliver all such documents (whether as a deed or otherwise) as may in the opinion of the attorney and/or agent be necessary or desirable to vest the Post-Scheme Shares in the Purchaser and, pending such vesting, to exercise all such rights and privileges attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares as the Purchaser may direct. If an attorney and/or agent is so appointed, the New Member shall not thereafter (except to the extent that the attorney and/or agent fails to act in accordance with the directions of the Purchaser) be entitled to exercise any rights or privileges attaching to the Post-Scheme Shares unless so agreed by the Purchaser. The Company may give good receipt for the delivery of the Share Deliverable for each Post-Scheme Share and may register the Purchaser as holder thereof and issue to it certificates for the same. The Company shall not be obliged to issue a certificate to the New Member for any Post-Scheme Shares. The Purchaser shall, subject to Applicable Law, settle the consideration due to the New Member pursuant to article [152].3 above by the delivery of the Share Deliverable for each Post-Scheme Scheme Share as soon as reasonably practicable following the issue of the Post-Scheme Shares to the New Member. Parent shall allot and issue or transfer the Exchange Shares to the New Member and send a cheque in sterling drawn on a UK clearing bank in favour of the New Member in respect of any fractional entitlements no later than 14 days after the date of the issue or transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares to the New Member unless: (a) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines in accordance with article [152].10 in respect of any New Member with a registered address in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom or whom the Company reasonably believes to be a citizen, resident or national of a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom that such Exchange Shares shall be sold in which case the Exchange Shares shall be sold and the net proceeds of sale distributed to the persons so entitled in accordance with article [152].10; or (b) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines in accordance with article [152].10 in respect of any New Member with a registered address in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom or whom the Company reasonably believes to be a citizen, resident or national of a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom that a cash amount equal to the value of the Exchange Shares shall be paid to the New Member, in which case Parent shall send a cheque in sterling drawn on a UK clearing bank in favour of the New Member for the consideration for such Post-Scheme Shares and in respect of any fractional entitlements no later than 14 days after the date of the issue or transfer of the Post-Scheme Shares to the New Member.

[152].10 If, in respect of any New Member with a registered address in a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom or whom the Company reasonably believes to be a citizen, resident or national of a jurisdiction outside the United Kingdom, the Company is advised that the allotment and/or issue or transfer of Exchange Shares pursuant to this article would or may infringe the laws of such jurisdiction or would or may require the Company and/or Parent to comply with any governmental

or other consent or any registration, filing or other formality with which the Company and/or Parent is unable to comply or compliance with which the Company and/or Parent regards as unduly onerous, the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine that such Exchange Shares shall be sold or a cash amount equal to the value of the Exchange Shares shall be paid to the New Member. In the event that the Exchange Shares are to be sold, the Company shall appoint a person to act as attorney or agent for the New Member pursuant to this article and such person shall be authorised on behalf of such New Member to procure that any shares in respect of which the Company has made such determination shall, as soon as practicable following the allotment, issue or transfer of such shares, be sold, including being authorised to execute and deliver as transferor a form of transfer or other instrument or instruction of transfer on behalf of the New Member (whether as a deed or otherwise). The net proceeds of such sale (after the deduction of all expenses and commissions incurred in connection with such sale, including any value added tax payable on the proceeds of sale), or the cash amount equal to the value of the Exchange Shares, shall be paid to the persons entitled thereto in due proportions as soon as practicable, save that any fractional cash entitlements shall be rounded down to the nearest whole ▇▇▇▇▇.

[152].9 Notwithstanding any other provision of these articles, both the Company and the directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any shares between the Scheme Record Time and the Effective Date, other than to the Purchaser pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement.

[152].10 If the Scheme of Arrangement shall not have become effective by the date referred to in (or otherwise set in accordance with) clause [•] of the Scheme of Arrangement, this article [152] shall cease to be of any effect.”

(C) The Company be and is hereby directed to deliver the Court Order to the Registrar of Companies in England and Wales if the Court Sanction is obtained and provided that no injunction or other Order by any court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction shall have been entered and shall continue to be in effect and no Law shall have been adopted that remains in effect or effective, in each case that prevents, enjoins, prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Transaction; and

(D) The directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee of the directors) be and are hereby directed that they need not undertake a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Superior Proposal or cause the Company to terminate the Transaction Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement relating to a Superior Proposal following the time at which the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained (capitalized terms in this resolution having the meanings set forth in the Transaction Agreement).
